As we near Mother's Day, we honor the women who have been a blessing to us.  Praise God for their sacrifices that they made for us!  Happy Mother's Day!

Motherhood is...

... a blessing (Psalm 127:3)

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.

... ordained by God (Psalm 139:13)

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.

... full of hope (Proverbs 22:6)

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

... full of joy (Proverbs 23:25)

Let your father and mother be glad; let her who bore you rejoice.

... a calling (Proverbs 31:28)

Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:

... worthy of honor (Ephesians 6:1-3)

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ² "Honor your father and mother" (this is the first commandment with a promise), ³ "that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land."
